Around us somehow, Spring Break and the Easter holidays always seem to fall in the same week. In addition to our unpredictable weather, our house is crowded with holiday company and everyone home from school. Cold weather combined with stir crazy children can be a lethal combination and that is exactly why we created this trail mix.
I learned a long time ago that busy hands are happy hands. We always keep a bin full of crafts and board games for bored hands. We also spend a lot of time baking together. On one very challenging day, we headed for the kitchen, so all the ingredients for this mix came straight out of our pantry.
This mix is perfect for little hands to make with just a little bit of help. The recipe is very flexible, so just use whatever you have in your pantry. A little sweet and a little salty, mixed with some marshmallows and chocolate, this Cotton Tail trail mix is addictive. And it will also help keep hungry hands out of your kitchen while you are trying to finish your Easter meal.
Don’t forget to save some for the Easter Bunny too!
